Algebra for Calculus... need some help on this homework problem

[jholik2]

Given that f(x)=5x−14f(x)=5x-14 where f(x)=yf(x)=y, define a function rule for f−1f-1

Could you explain the meaning of "f(x)=5x−14f(x)=5x-14", "f(x)=yf(x)=y", "f−1f-1"?

Given that f(x)=5x−14f(x)=5x-14 where f(x)=yf(x)=y, define a function rule for f−1f-1

Evidently you pasted from a source that includes multiple formats for each equation; and possibly you also managed to lose formatting. Probably you meant this:

Given that f(x)=5x−14 where f(x)=y, define a function rule for f⁻¹.

Now, in addition to understanding the problem, we need to understand you. What do you know, and where are you stuck? If I'm right that the question is about an inverse, what have you learned about them? Please show any work you are able to do, even if it is just a guess.
